Before 1942? Relatively few. The majority were killed before 1942. Watch the movie "conspiracy". If i recall, top nazi officials met to discuss how to resolve the "jewish question" in 1941.

How many Muslims were killed in the Spanish inquisition?

what is the best answer to

Question by Tausif: How many Muslims were killed in the Spanish inquisition?
I no many jews were killed or forced to convert, but how many Muslims were killed and torchered?


Best answer:

Answer by Ravie S
In 1609, The king of Spain passed a decree expelling all Muslims and Muslim converts to Christianity from Spain, on pain of death. The Inquisition persecuted Christian converts who were suspected to be practicing Islam, but they were not persecuted as rigorously as suspected crypto-Jews and Protestants, because Spain didn't want to endanger it's trading empire too much. Probably hundreds were killed over the centuries, but that's just my personal speculation.

You have to remember though, that in the Spanish Inquisition, only people who claimed to be Christians but were suspected of secretly being Jews, Heretics, or Muslims were persecuted. Openly Muslim people were simply banned from the kingdom for most of the time, or else forced to convert or be exiled.

Wikipedia quotes some historian as saying that between 1612 and 1700, cases against Moriscoes (converts from Islam) made up 9% of Inquisition cases.

How many people were actually killed during the Inquisition?

what is the best answer to

Question by : How many people were actually killed during the Inquisition?
There are varying accounts of how many people were actually killed during the Crusades. Are there any sources that accurately document the numbers and religous affiliation of the victims?


Best answer:

Answer by Jeanette
The Inquisition that most people mean is the Spanish Inquisition which was an agency of the Spanish government dedicated to rooting out people who had secretly held to their Muslim and Jewish faiths after the Reconquest of 1492 that destroyed the Muslim state of Cordoba. The Spanish conquerors required all Muslims and Jews to leave the kingdom, but many people converted to christianity in order to be allowed to stay. The King of Aragon, Ferdinand II, asked the Pope for the right to prosecute "relapsed heretics", that is, people who had only pretended to convert. After the beginning of the Reformation in 1519, the Spanish inquisition also went after Protestants. In the Spanish colonies in the Americas, the Inquisition did not have jurisdiction over most Indians but did prosecute African people and people of mixed race who practiced African or Indian religions. The Spanish Inquisition was eliminated in 1834. The Inquisition conducted approximately 3,000 to 5,000 executions in Spain between 1492 and 1834. Figures for the Americas are unavailable and there is in any case a lot of confusion about deaths caused by religious persecution of Indians that were not "official" acts of the Inquisition.

The Catholic Church conducted inquisitions in other areas of the western world from the middle ages onward. Some of these were conducted in collaboration with governmental attacks on people with divergent religious views, like the Albigensian crusade in southern France in the middle ages, the war against the Hussites in what is now the Czech republic in the 15th century, and the various wars of religion of the 16th and 17th century. For the most part, the Catholic Church's inquisitions didn't actually execute anybody. Instead, they would find the accused guilty or not guilty of heresy, then turn them over to the government for punishment. Trials of people for unorthodox religious views were a standard practice of religious life in Europe up until the nineteenth century, though the death penalty was thankfully rather rare. More common would be some form of public humiliation in which the accused person would have to recant their unorthodox views and swear allegiance to the Church.

You also mentioned the Crusades. Though conducted with the blessing of the Catholic Church, the Crusades were carried out by governmental authorities -- Dukes, Kings, and so on. We can't really refer to them as an inquisition. The First Crusade famously slaughtered almost all the inhabitants of Jersusalem, most of whom were Christians (Eastern Orthodox, not Catholic). The Crusades were essentially a barbarian invasion of the civilized middle east and like many barbarian invasions they were quite brutal but succeeded in the end in civilizing the barbarians. Europeans went home from the Crusades with all sorts of ideas, both technological and philosophical, from the Arabs that led Europe out of the barbaric dark ages and into a more advanced state of civilization.

There's a good Wikipedia entry on the Spanish Inquisition.

Question by Johnny: How many Lebanese were killed by the PLO during the war?
How many Lebanese were killed by these animals?
@ AlbertoAssaf yeah i know but how many were killed by the PLO?

@IsraelPrincess read about the Civil War this has nothing to do with Hamas and very little about Hezbollah.

@7mood Yes the Massacres were tragic in Sabra and Shatila but read about the Damour Massacre which is almost on the same scale as Sabra and Shatila . Plus the PLO i heard killed 40,000 Christians the second year of the war, 1976.


Best answer:

Answer by Alberto Assaf

Studio Stories - How the Great New York Records Were Made (Softcover)




This is an engaging account of some of the most memorable moments in New York's recording history, as seen through the eyes (and ears) of the many producers, engineers, songwriters, and recording artists who helped make them happen. It explores the explosive 30 years between 1950 and 1980 and the numerous ingredients that made them unique: artists performing live in large, vibrant recording spaces; producers and engineers spontaneously creating new effects and techniques; composers writing parts on demand in the studio; and, most important, recording studios that had life, character, and their own fingerprint sound.

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything




In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry
of the double helix.
